Constraining the first aerosol indirect radiative forcing in the LMDZ GCM using POLDER and MODIS satellite data

The indirect effects of anthropogenic aerosols are expected to cause a significant radiative forcing of the Earth’s climate whose magnitude, however, is still uncertain. Most climate models use parameterizations for the aerosol indirect effects based on so-called ‘‘empirical relationships’’ which li...
